Through the “Maths is Fine with Digital Style” project, we aimed to develop the key skills of educators and pupils. The project sought to develop mathematical competence among primary-level pupils from six European countries, creating an effective teaching database of digital materials for Maths across six topics. We supported the professional development of educators, particularly in addressing challenges related to teaching Maths and using ICT-based teaching methods. Additionally, we stimulated creativity among pupils from six European schools by connecting Mathematics with digital tools. Teachers were provided with CLIL materials for teaching Mathematics, allowing them to use these resources in English and share their experiences with other partners. The project also aimed to strengthen internationalization in our schools, enhancing our capacity for cross-border cooperation. Furthermore, we fostered inclusive education to improve access, participation, and learning performance for pupils with educational difficulties.
The Maths is Fine with Digital Style project was developed for pupils from six European countries, targeting primary school pupils between the ages of 6–12. Recognizing mathematical competence as one of the essential skills of the 21st century, six schools decided to modernize their teaching methods and introduce educational innovations by incorporating digital tools into Mathematics to enhance pupil motivation. The Covid-19 crisis underscored the critical role of digital education. It particularly highlighted the growing need to leverage digital technologies for teaching and learning, as well as to develop digital skills across the board. The crisis also revealed that many pupils lacked the knowledge to use digital tools for learning. Based on a survey conducted among teachers, it was clear that the majority of primary-level educators were eager to improve their digital skills. Most teachers expressed a strong desire to use digital tools more frequently in Maths lessons to better engage and motivate pupils. Additionally, a significant number agreed that computer-based homework could effectively engage pupils in learning. Many showed interest in participating in Erasmus+ workshops focused on maths.
